Building an SBR? Excellent choice. Buying one is way over-rated, but building one is total #pewlife.
When you submit an ATF Form 1 (Application to Make and Register a Firearm), you legally become the manufacturer of that NFA firearm. Because of this, ATF-compliant NFA engraving is required before your short-barreled rifle (SBR) or other Form 1 firearm can be lawfully possessed.
If you are converting an existing firearm into an SBR, the required engraving is simple:
If you are starting from an 80% lower receiver, you must engrave the complete manufacturer information, which may include:
Our Form 1 SBR engraving service ensures your firearm meets all ATF NFA engraving requirements with clean, permanent, professional results.
We use an industrial-grade laser engraving system that exceeds ATF depth and legibility standards. The result is sharp, permanent engraving that a diamond drag machine can only dream about.
For non-AR firearms, engraving can be placed nearly anywhere as long as it remains visible after assembly.
If you’re starting fresh, we can sell and engrave your lower receiver before shipping it to your FFL.
Our standard offering is the Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 Multi-Cal lower receiver. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and hard anodized to mil-spec Type III, these lowers are known for reliability and affordability.
For a more “tacticool” build, we offer Spike’s Tactical lowers. These feature premium 7075-T6 forging, durable anodizing that exceeds mil-spec standards, and a wide range of logos and variants with a cult-like following.
Want to personalize your Form 1 SBR? We offer custom graphic and logo engraving.
Standard engraving removes only the surface anodizing (~.002"), revealing white aluminum beneath. We also offer deep engraving up to ~.01" for color fill or Cerakote applications.
We can Cerakote your lower while it’s in our shop.
All new lower receivers purchased from us must ship to an licensed FFL in your state. If you send us a lower already in your possession, it can be shipped directly back to you.
